Ok so is it weird that I cut open a stuffed bear to remove a "mass" (that I put in) I had everything clamps,scalpel,tweezers,etc (well not the real stuff but I made up stuff like paper clips were clamps,knife was scalpel,etc) I also made a whole pt sheet of when he got admitted and why,age,sex,blood type,bp,etc. I'm 13 by the way so I'm not some crazy guy that just cuts open stuffed animals, I like surgery it is interesting to me. I just wanted to see what it would feel like to be in that position of cutting somebody open and saving their life of being a surgeon. I also closed him up after I was done removing the "mass". I'm just posting this to see if anyone thinks this is crazy and weird or is this ok in some aspect? Now that I think about it it reminds of playing doctor like a child except without all the cutting and stuff.

Thanks,
David 😴
 
Since this forum is intended for surgery residents and attendings to discuss topics relevant to their practice, I'm moving this thread to the hSDN forum.
 
Wait, you're 13 and you've only just started preforming fake surgeries???

Teddy bears need Breast augmentations, then immediate breast reductions too.

He said "saving lives" which means he purposely put the teddy bear's life in danger, which is malpractice.
 
Yes of cource my allowence pays for everything...and how was I supposed to help this teddy bear if he didn't have something wrong with him. I had to create something wrong with him a mass near his spinal cord. (That is actully just a pile of fluff or fur or whatever the hell that is inside a teddy bear)
 
Why are you practicing on animals? Do you wanna be a vet? If not, I recommend playing surgery with a little sibling or friend. The anatomy of a teddy bear is much more similar to dogs and cats than it is to humans.

So are you telling me to do a surgery on a person? THAT'S A GREAT IDEA I'LL JUST TAKE OUT THERE APPENDIX THEY DON'T NEED THAT OLD THING. And they can be fully conscious through the whole thing and I'll also use a old knife as a scalpel.

Thanks for the info.

He's being sarcastic.

Anyways it's a little odd cutting up stuffed animals... why not slice an orange and suture it back up? More challenging

I hope you know he is too. He's not 13, he's in high school.

Not weird at all. I take classes for knitting so I can pretend how to suture. :laugh:

In all honesty though, closest thing you'll get to surgery is knitting. You'd be surprised how difficult it is, running subcuticular stitch on a peeled orange.

Now THAT'S impressive.

Do you stitch the rind back together? Or are you stitching the orange segments together?

You misunderstood me. I was letting you know that people much better than you have been unable to detect sarcasm.

It's never happened to me, but I am the exception that proves the rule.

I have done the rind, I am still in the process of making the orange segments looking like they are unblemished afterwards, but I've still yet to perfect it,

I've gone through at LEAST 30 oranges.

Start a fire/lighter/whatever, run the sewed up part of the rind over the fire a couple of times for 3 seconds through the flame each time. It should start to make a difference. Do it many times and it'll be close to as good as new.
 
Wait, do people actually do this? I thought you were making a scrubs reference. 😕
